Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a creamier pesto, add a tablespoon or two of the pasta water to the sauce before tossing it with the pasta.
- Toasting the pine nuts before blending them into the pesto enhances their flavor and adds a nice crunch.
- If you don't have Parmesan cheese, you can substitute it with Pecorino Romano or Grana Padano for a similar sharp, salty flavor.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover pesto pasta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, add a splash of milk or water to prevent the pasta from drying out.
